Giant 
Annual | 
Ox: the most pop- 
ular and effective of 
our garden favorites, pro- 
ducing a profusion of flow- 
-ers in which richness and 
variety of colors are com- 
bined with the most per- 
fect and beautiful forms. 
They are outstanding in 
every garden, or pleasure 
ground. As cut flowers 
they rival the Chrysanthe- 
mum in beauty and diver- 
sity of form and color, and 
remain firm and fresh for 
days. 
By planting early, mid- 
season, and late flowering 
_. varieties you may have a 
continuous succession of 
flowers from early summer until frost. For 
early blooms sow seed indoors or in a cold 
frame in March, otherwise sow outdoors after 
danger from freezing has passed. 
~ Good culture and a sunny open situation is 
essential. Avoid the numerous diseases to 
which Asters are susceptible by planting in 
new ground each year. Prepare the soil care- 
fully, using a good heavy loam enriched with 
a liberal quantity of bone meal, wood ashes 
and a little air-slacked lime. Barnyard manure 
should never be used. The plants should be 
cultivated frequently and tobacco dust 
sprinkled around the stems to control aphis.
